Men's Long Sleeve T-Shirts

The long-sleeved t-shirt for chilly seasons

The long-sleeved t-shirt takes over from the classic t-shirt as evenings get cooler. Alone, it’s enough for spring and autumn; in winter, it becomes a base layer under an open shirt, a shacket, a sweatshirt or a jacket. It can be worn with jeans, chinos or cargo pants, tucked in or not. Its simplicity makes it a staple piece, usually chosen for its neckline and fabric.

Other tops

T-shirts and vests also come in:

• T-shirts.
• Short sleeves.
• Vests.

All tops are gathered on the t-shirts and vests page.

Round, henley or waffle neckline

The round neckline, the most versatile, goes under anything. The henley or Tunisian collar, with a small buttoned placket, takes inspiration from workwear and the shirts worn by English rowers in Henley: it adds a smarter look. The waffle fabric, with small raised squares, traps air and retains heat, in an outdoor spirit. The chest pocket t-shirt adds a practical touch. Graphic prints, on the chest or sleeves, define streetwear styles.

Fit and materials

The fitted cut is worn as a base layer, the straight cut stands alone, and the oversized cut, with dropped shoulders, is for a relaxed style. The heavy cotton, with a high weight, holds its shape well and ages without deforming; lightweight jersey, more flexible, is great for layering. Organic cotton offers a more responsible alternative. Sleeves should reach the wrist without going beyond it. Wash your t-shirts at thirty degrees, inside out, and dry them flat to prevent distortion.

Good deals

Great finds are also available in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and 24-hour shipping items are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a steady order: Black Friday in late autumn, year-end festivities, winter sales, French Days in spring, then summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

Round neck or buttoned Tunisian neck: which one to choose?

The round neck, simple and neat, goes under everything, whether a shirt or a sweatshirt. The Tunisian neck, or henley, opens with a short buttoned placket that gives a more relaxed look and is often worn alone with a slightly open neck.

What size to choose for a long-sleeved t-shirt worn as a base layer?

As a base layer, stick to your usual size with a fitted cut to avoid wrinkles under a shirt or sweatshirt. Sleeves should reach the wrist without riding up when you stretch your arms.

Heavy cotton or lightweight jersey: which material to use based on purpose?

Heavy cotton keeps you warm and holds its shape, ideal worn alone in spring and autumn. Lightweight jersey, thinner and more flexible, slides easily without bulk under an open shirt or jumper.

How to wash a long-sleeved t-shirt without it shrinking?

Wash it at thirty degrees, inside out, and avoid the tumble dryer, which is the main cause of cotton shrinkage. Dry it flat or on a hanger to keep the sleeves at their length.

How to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt with style?

On its own, it pairs with jeans, chinos or cargo pants in the mid-season. In winter, it becomes the base of a layered outfit under a shacket or jacket; a textured knit adds character to a simple outfit.
